We've written before about Feng Shui in your living room, and honestly we've been a bit sceptical about it. However, we're prepared to admit that one billion Chinese might actually have a point, and are more than happy to pass on the few tips we've managed to pick up. The art of Feng Shui is the idea of arranging the space of a room to allow for a positive flow of energy inside your home, creating a harmonic space to relax. The positioning of items such as furniture is crucial to creating Feng Shui within a space. If you're into that kind of thing, your living room should be in a position where there are two outside walls, allowing for the calmness of nature to flow into your room. The lighting and ventilation should be good, but not overpowering, to allow for energy to be circulated around. One easy step towards Feng Shui is to have a clear out of all clutter. Removing the unnecessary things you have accumulated will create more space, and will make you feel like you've thrown out all the negativity you have built up within a room. This is essential to the ideas of Feng Shui, as it allows for positivity to move into the space. The sofa is the most important piece of furniture in the living room, and it might be tempting to place it freely in the centre of a room. Feng Shui feels that the sofa should be against a solid wall, as this gives support and stability to the people living in the house. People tend to feel safer sitting against the wall, and less vulnerable which creates a sense of calm. This is worth trying out in your living space as it may help you to unwind and relax more easily. Try to avoid arranging your furniture into the corner like an arrow, as this directs energy away from the centre of the room. Play around with the layout of your furniture to find the most calming placement. Whether you believe it works or not, it's really quite simple to achieve Feng Shui within a space. All it takes is some simple de-cluttering and re-arranging of furniture to create a more calming atmosphere.
